How to Buy a Profitable Rental Property in a Top Market

Investing in real estate is an exciting and profitable business endeavor which starts with buying a good property in a top performing market. This process which used to take weeks and even months of research, data collection, and calculations has now been reduced to a few minutes with the advancement of technology into the real estate industry. Predictive analytics, a fancy term for using historical data to make predictions about the future performance of rental properties, allows investors to find and buy positive cash flow properties in any market before other investors get a hold of them.

The process of buying an investment property can be broken down into three main parts: 1) Choosing the best market; 2) Finding the best property within this market; and 3) Selecting the optimal rental strategy for this property. Mashvisor, an advanced real estate analytics tool, helps you out in each of these steps. Here is how.

I have a guest post for you today from Anton Ivanov of DealCheck, and today's article is on 5 things you should check before buying your next rental property.

Whether you are buying your first rental property or buying your next rental property, these tips will help you make choices that will positively affect your bottom line.

5 Things You Should Check Before Buying Your Next Rental Property

Most experienced real estate investors will tell you that you make your money when you buy rental properties.

It seems a bit counter-intuitive, but it’s actually spot-on. While there ARE things you can do to improve a property after you purchase it, most of the factors (likes its location, layout and potential rental income) are “locked-in” the moment you buy it.

With that in mind, it’s obvious why you should be picky when buying investment properties and spend appropriate time analyzing each rental before buying it.

Here are 5 Things You Should Always Research and Check Before Pulling the Trigger.

Today’s show is on building wealth through turnkey rentals. My guest is Chris Clothier of Memphis Invest. Chris is part of a very successful family owned business. Today you are going to learn how you can build wealth over time with rental property, and how to do that without ever picking up a paintbrush

You will also learn that investing in turnkey rentals doesn’t mean it’s a totally hands off business model.

When you get a bunch of landlords in a room, hiring a property management company is often a hot topic. Some are for it, and some will have a million reasons for not hiring one.

My guest today is Linda Liberatore from Secure Pay One and we're going to talk about some of the advantages of turning that job over to a pro, and how hiring a property management company can actually make your life a whole lot easier.

Linda is a real estate investor in Chicago, she is the president of the Lake County Property Investors.

Real estate investors are always looking for profitable rental property to add to their portfolios. This is an especially good time to be buying rental property because the rental market is hot in most areas across the country. Today we have some tips for finding the best rental property.

I have found that when investors are just getting started with rental property, the same questions come up time and time again.

Most people think of their personal home and their rental property as two entirely different animals; rarely do they ever come up in the same sentence. Our personal home is just that; personal. Rental property and real estate investing always end up on the business side of the equation.

What if you entertained the idea of how you can use one to build upon the other? “Turn Your Home Into a Rental House Instead of Selling It” by Terry and Angy Sprouse will permanently change your perceptions of exactly how these two things can intermingle successfully.

Statistics say that the average American will move 7 times in their lifetime. Most folks will sell their house, use that money to buy their second house, and will repeat this process throughout their lifetime.

But what if you were to use a different strategy? What if you were to refinance your existing house for your down payment on your new house and keep it for a rental? How would that work and how could you keep it affordable?
